Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
“Zhyldyz was an amazing hosts! The home was really well set up for our needs of a fun weekend in Charleston but would also be perfect for a work from home week. It was well stocked with all the things you need and the beds were supper comfortable. They always responded to our questions in a timely fashion and were so nice about any adjustments we needed to make. We would definitely stay there again in the future!” - Jonathan
“We had an outstanding experience! Z and Flo were very accommodating, helpful and kind hosts. The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood was quiet. Many walkable places to shop, eat and sightsee. The house was exactly as pictured and described. Spotless and very up to date. Relaxing with a chill open floor plan. Games and books included. Technology was modern and the tv had lots of apps. Great parking included. Neighborhood is up and coming!” - Elizabeth
“Great time staying here! Very clean and super close to everything. 10/10 recommend!” - Christian

When you’re not eating at one of the many great restaurants that are just a short walk away, you’ll be able to whip up a quick meal at this mid-century home. The kitchen offers lovely wooden countertops, high-quality appliances, and designer stoneware dishes to serve your meals in style.
Enjoy your meals around the charming wooden dining table, which has seating for six guests. The open living area makes it easy to converse with your group from different areas of the unit.
The bright lounge is the perfect place to relax after you’ve spent a day strolling on King St. or shopping at local antique shops. This timeless space is designed with Blu Dot, Kartell, and Normann Copenhagen furniture, so you can take advantage of the luxurious and modern furnishings.
Sit back on the comfortable sofa and watch a show on the flat-screen Roku TV, which has HBO, Netflix, and Amazon Prime.
